This is an artical from the S.L Tribune from July 23, 2015.  It says a lot about Gyll but can't come close to expressing what he meant to each of us.   

Friends in the Salt Lake City arts community will gather Sunday to celebrate the life of one of Utah's most unusual talents.

Gyll Huff — an actor, artist, designer and teacher — died July 10 in Salt Lake City at age 63.

To get a sense of the weirdness of Huff's artistic career, consider this sentence from a Facebook tribute written by Winnie Wood, who taught with him at Wasatch Academy:

"He has a very complicated résumé that is stunning in scope and includes but is certainly not limited to: flopping in a diaper at the Salt Lake International Airport, roller skating like a demon in various venues and nailing a pork chop to a pillar in a gallery on Pierpont."

Huff co-starred in Trent Harris' Mormons-meets-aliens comedy "Plan 10 From Outer Space" (1995), playing Aho the Alien and pioneer figure Porter Rockwell. (As Rockwell, Huff served a dire threat to an apostate: "I'm gonna shoot ya, and I'm gonna stab ya, and then I'll shoot ya and stab ya!") Harris later immortalized Huff in his 1996 book "Mondo Utah."

Huff also worked on Crispin Glover's 2007 experimental film "It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine." He filled a variety of roles: actor, makeup artist and hair stylist, as well as working in the wardrobe and art departments.

He was a collaborator, along with his friends David Brothers and Clint Wardlow, in the Any-Act theater group. To theater students at Wasatch Academy, Wood wrote, Huff was known affectionately as "Uncle Cruel."

"Art was his life and his life was Art: cruel and hilarious, wild and fine, bodacious and beautiful," Wood wrote. "Beauty was always involved … and outfits, many, many outfits, legendary outfits. He often told the truth when it was uncalled for, and the seamless inventions of his imagination were breathtaking."

A gathering, dubbed Gyll Huff's Shuffle (referencing Hamlet's line about people who have "shuffled off this mortal coil"), is set for Sunday from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Any-Act studio, 47 Orange St., suite D-6, Salt Lake City. (That's a bit west of Redwood Road and just south of North Temple.)

Costumes, scarves, wigs, hats and other frills are encouraged. "Rum and Dr Pepper will surely be involved," Wood wrote. Further celebrating will be held after 6 p.m. at a watering hole to be determined.

Huff had no survivors or kin.
